Morning, Takumu.

Good morning, Master.

Even though I'm your legion master, don't feel the need to call me that all the time.

Sorry. I just do it out of habit.

Oh, looks like Chiyu made you lunch.

You shouldn't be eating out here all alone. Why don't we have lunch together?

It's a pretty nice day out.

You two should hang out alone up here more often.

Chiyu and I aren't all open and lovey-dovey at school like you two.

We're not lovey-dovey!

Anyway, you said we needed to talk?

All my eyes will ever behold is you, in all your radiance

I will awaken and tread

through this world

I wallow in self-pity and insignificance

and all that I look out on

is a lie, a fabrication

I realize that, looking from where I stand, practically alone

The future ahead of myself, so much brighter, promises me beauty

We ask for a place where we can all be ourselves, develop as we want

All my eyes will ever behold is you, in all your radiance

Now for the first time I can go faster than the others

and will go farther and higher than I used to

I want to tell you my feelings

I will awaken, walk through this world

and chase it

What do you think, Taku?

It's hard to say what the Red King might be after without more information.

I have a pretty good idea of what she might've

tried if you didn't figure out her identity though.

Huh?

What would've happened?

Knowing Haru, he'd have grown pretty fond of her after three days of living together.

Then she'd say,

"I'm actually a Burst Linker."

"But since I'm so young, the older legion members

keep stealing away all my hard-earned points."

"Please join my legion and protect me!"

Or something like that.

Oh, come on. No one would fall for such an obvious trap.

Not even Haruyuki...

What's the matter with you?!

Th-The poor girl, being bullied...

Don't you dare think it'd be a good idea to

change legions and come back even for a second,

even if she really did need help.

But why not?

Because of an execution technique, the Judgment Blow.

It's a finishing move granted only to

legion masters for the purpose of execution.

And the members on the receiving end immediately lose all their points.

They lose Brain Burst forever.

Lose forever...

If you had joined the Red Legion for even a second,

she'd have the power of life and death over Silver Crow.

She'd probably threaten you with the Judgment Blow

to force you into doing something she wants.

But because you found out her real identity,

she'd rather meet your master to propose a deal.

Hmm...

Well we should at least hear what she has to say.

Haruyuki, give the Red King a call.

Set up a meeting for four o'clock. We'll meet in your living room.

Couldn't we meet somewhere else?

I dunno if I'm ready to have you there and my place is such a mess.

So, it's okay for the Red King but not for me?

N-No, it's not that.

I've got some drinks and snacks.

But the problem is...

I've got to protect my secret collection with my life.

Please don't let anything go wrong!

Die! Drop dead!

Welcome home! You've got great taste.

These are the best!

I quite like them too.

Western games from that period had such a different philosophy.

Hell yeah! Stage 5 cleared!

H-How did you get my room key?!

I told you. I got an instant key from your mom.

But don't worry though,

I didn't touch your special little Z-rated

collection hiding behind the other manuals.

Kill me.

So you're the Black King.

It's true, you are quite dark.

If it was nighttime you'd be completely invisible.

And you are really quite red.

It would be fun to hang you from a traffic light in order to stop cars.

Now, now! Um, ah,

I'm such a lucky guy to be standing here with these two lovely ladies.

Are you retarded?

I'm gonna kill you.

Taku!

How about we start with introductions?

Perhaps you should give us your real name first,

Red King.

I'm Yuniko. Kozuki Yuniko.

How about your name tag?

You can't forge a quantum code-key name tag.

Fine,

here. Kozuki Yuniko Kozuki Yuniko Kozuki Yuniko

Kozuki Yuniko Kozuki Yuniko

Your turn, Cyan Pile.

I'm Mayuzumi Takumu.

Let's see your name tag, too.

Snow Black Snow Black Snow Black Snow Black Snow

Black Snow Black Snow Black Snow Black Snow Black

Snow Black

Hey, you! That's not your real name!

Whatever! I'll just remember you as the shameless girl who thinks she's a princess.

Well, it's way cuter than calling yourself a king.

You what?!

Well, let's move on, please.

First off, Red King,

would you mind telling us how you found out Haru's real identity?

I got a pass to visit all the junior high schools in the Suginami area,

and then I logged onto the school's local network.

But that would only tell you the names of the 300 students at Umesato Junior High.

Well then I waited at a café facing the school gates.

As each student left the school grounds,

I accelerated and checked the match list.

When Silver Crow finally appeared on the list,

I saw only this guy leaving the school. Couldn't believe it.

How many Burst Points did you use doing it that way?

Little over 200.

200?!

Why did you want to meet Haruyuki that badly?

Did you fall in love with him?

No way in Hell!

I'm interested in his avatar, not him!

Silver Crow, I want to borrow your wings...

Just once, I want to use your flying ability,

to destroy the Armor of Catastrophe.

The Armor of Catastrophe?

Fool! The armor has already been destroyed.

Two and a half years ago I witnessed the death of Chrome Disaster, and I can

confirm that the armor went with him.

Then why has it appeared again?

Um, can you explain? What's the Armor of

Catastrophe and who's this Chrome Disaster guy?

Haruyuki, can you go and get some cables?

It'll be faster if I just show you.

Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel World Accel

Okay, I've got two cables.

This 1 meter cable and this 50 cm one.

Sorry. I've only got this long one.

Oh, I see. Okay, okay.

I'll have to deal with the 50 cm one, then.

Hey! Don't mess around!

I'll use that one.

No way!

Wait!

What's the big idea?!

Hurry up and plug in the big one and hand it over to her.

Listen you, don't get so close to him!

Guess it's just too bad that he only had one short cable.

Unbelievable! This is why I hate kids!

Thinking that the length of a cable relates to how intimate you are. So pathetic!

Well, I'll use the other long one.

Are we going to accelerate, Master?

No, we don't have to go that far.

Direct link!

Where are we?

Black Lotus.

This is a VR movie, not Accel World.

It's like a film reel of my memory, being transmitted directly from inside my brain.

Two and a half years ago...

A replay of the fight between the Seven Kings

of Pure Color and the fourth Chrome Disaster?

The fourth?

Chrome Disaster was originally the name of a legendary Burst Linker

from the early days of Accel World, about seven years ago.

He was a ruthless fighter. Brutal, even.

He used his fearsome fighting power to bring about absolute tyranny.

But not before long, his time was up.

The highest level Burst Linkers at that time

banded together to bring him down.

The moment he met his death in Accel World, he shouted out...

"Curse this world. Darkness will consume it. I'll keep coming back."

He spoke the truth.

Even though he vanished from Accel World,

his reinforced exterior, the Armor of Catastrophe, did not.

A reinforced exterior?

It's an external item.

It's kinda like my firepower container or my pistols.

A reinforced exterior is usually just an ordinary item,

with no will of its own.

But the Armor of Catastrophe is different.

It possessed one of the Burst Linkers who participated in the execution.

It took over his mind and in a single night,

transformed him into a brutal murderer.

It happened again after that, on three separate occasions.

Even when the possessed Linker was destroyed, the armor never disappeared.

It would just possess another Linker, transforming them into a monster.

And this...

This was the fourth.

The fifth one, who's currently on a rampage,

is a totally different shape and size.

The armor changes shape to suit the avatar,

but the crazed style of attacks remains.

The Green King, Green Grandee.

His other name is the pinnacle of defense, Invulnerable.

Apparently he's rock solid.

Is that really a Burst Linker?

A person like me is inside of that thing?

It's wounded?

That's right.

It had just fought some of the other kings

and was nearly dead.

And even still, it rages on.

Look out!

Even In that state,

it continued to fight until it finally perished.

Afterwards, the other kings and I confirmed

that the armor no longer existed in the game's storage files.

The curse should've been broken back then.

So how do you explain what's happening now?!

There's no doubt that a fifth one has appeared and is wreaking havoc!

Well, who is the fifth one?

Is it one of the kings?

Not a king! It's one of my own!

A member of Prominence, the Red Legion.

His name was Cherry Rook.

He was a good guy.

He didn't have any flashy abilities, but he made it to Level 6

through sheer hard work...

He had a lot to look forward to.

But now,

damn it!

He still belongs to the Red Legion,

but he's relentlessly attacking the members of other legions.

He's breaking the non-aggression treaty.

So I have to put an end to it.

The Judgment Blow.

Yes.

But I can't get to him.

The Judgment Blow is a close range ability that

requires you to be right next to the target.

But he has such monstrous leaping power, he could easily jump into orbit

to escape me.

It's like he's flying.

I see. Now we finally know what you're after.

What? What is it, then?

You haven't figured it out?

I want you to catch Chrome Disaster for me.

What? That's out of the question!

It'll be good experience. I think you should give it a go.

What?!

It's dangerous, Master. It could also be a trap.

Our goal is Level 10.

The other kings are still our enemies.

These are people we'll need to destroy at some point.

What's that, punk? Four-eyes!

Do they call you the Professor?

I've contacted you here in the flesh.

If I betray you, you could easily get back at me here in the real world.

Well it's a little risky, but it could work in our favor.

Presumably you've thought about an offer for us?

Of course. I'll tell my crew to leave you alone in Suginame for the time being.

We've got a deal.

When and where can he be found?

I'll try to find out the specifics.

Probably tomorrow evening.

I see. Right, we'll meet back here after school tomorrow.

Why my house again?

See you then, Haru.

See ya.

See you tomorrow, Haruyuki.

I'll walk you home.

It's so late.

Don't worry about it.

See ya, Blackie.

Let's get back to the game.

Hey, wait. Just a minute, Red.

What now?

Surely you're not planning to stay here tonight?

Well, duh. Do you expect me to go home every single night? What a pain.

And I live at a boarding school.

Since I forged a 3-day pass, they won't have any food ready for me there.

Speaking of which! What should we have for dinner?

I take back what I said about leaving!

I'm going to spend the night too.

Right then, what's on today's menu?

Special Sale! Special Sale! Burdock ¥120

¥198 Black Squid Ink Noodle How about this?

Are you stupid?! Who on earth would eat something like that?

Oh, sorry. For the Red King it's got to be more like this, right?

¥156 Red Hot Pepper Noodle

No! What's with all this instant noodle crap?

Don't you think I can cook?

I want hamburgers!

How about hamburgers?

Yuniko...

"Yuniko is at the age where she really wants

to be spoiled by real parents like that."

I really hope something that dumb didn't just cross your mind.

Um, uh, no.

You should have realized it. Due to this game's accelerated technology,

real life becomes an afterthought.

If you had any idea how much time this girl and I have spent in the other world,

it would blow your mind.

Your total playing time? How many hours?

Not telling. Try to figure it out by yourself.

Don't call me Yuniko, either.

It makes my skin crawl. Niko is fine.

Just call me Niko.

And absolutely no cute nicknames!

What's going on here?

I have two girls staying over while my parents are away,

making me food and bathing together.

What choices should a boy like me make in such trying times?

It's like a scene from an anime or a video game.

Usually the boy goes and asks if the water is hot enough and

accidentally stumbles into the bathroom.

Then they hurl washing bowls and shampoo at him and chase him out.

So maybe that would be considered the optimal situation?

Ice cream, ice cream!

Please stop staring at me. This was the only thing that fit me.

N-No, it's not like that! It really suits you! It's perfect! It's classic!

Hey, funny story for ya, Silver Crow.

She looks nice now, but when she's naked, she's surprisingly—

Damn! What are you playing at?

Is that all you've got, Red King?

Don't tease me. I'm going to crush you.

Our goal is Level 10.

The other kings are still our enemies.

These are people we'll need to destroy at some point.

we are tossed by waves of pain and tears

I'm tossed into the fray, tossed by various fortune

wake up your brain, flashed in the sky

it's a burst of sensation

I found peace once I gave up in this stagnant world

When did it become like that?

Without warning I was thrust into importance

All I seek is some permanence

among these troubled times for us

I will be honest and tell you what I feel

so that my words of truth and the dreams

I couldn't tell you echo in the sky

With more determination than before

I will wipe away the tears in my eyes

and with my new-found strength

I will whisper to myself, "Now is the time!"

and put my wounds to some use at last

Faster, ever faster, towards you

Even if my wings should be torn to pieces

I will make it through this twisted world on foot

and where my feelings lead me

I will accelerate with the truth

Next time, "Activation."

Haruyuki and the others are on a mission.

What awaits them on a neutral field without any limits?
